TUGAN-BARANOVSKII, Mikhail Ivanovich.

Russkaia fabrika v proshlom’ i nastoiashchem’ [The Russian factory in the past and present].

First edition thus, originally issued as the author’s doctoral dissertation in 1894, a historic-economic analysis of Russian factories up to the 19th century. Beginning with a long introductory chapter on the 18th century, the work analyses factory development before and after the emancipation of the serfs in 1861. It looks at the changing interdependent relationship between the Russian factory in all its incarnations and the work force, considering the status and wages of the workers.

Factory legislation, the rate of industrial growth, and the place of the state and public opinion in industrial growth are also mentioned.
